If you are trying to get onto the housing ladder, we may be able to help. We provide good quality, affordable homes to rent, and homes to buy.

Grounds Maintenance

We maintain a number of open spaces and communal gardens including grassed areas, shrub beds and trees. Our aim is to provide attractive, clean and tidy areas, giving communal grounds more of a garden appearance.

We want to make our homes places where people are proud to live and welcome your ideas in making this happen. If you have any suggestions for improvements please let us know as we may be able to add them to our programme. Depending on where you live grounds maintenance will either be provided by Radian Services or by a contractor.

The service we provide includes:

Grass cutting.
Hedges cut to keep a tidy appearance and we ensure pathways, parking areas, windows, doorways and entrances are kept clear. Some hedges will require pruning at different times of the year.
Shrubs will be pruned and cut back. Weeds in shrub beds will be controlled. Cultivation, raking and edging of shrub beds will be done as required.
Litter picking of grass and shrub beds will take place as required on every visit. All litter from the site should be removed at the end of the working day.
Small tree works will be carried out as needed.

Your responsibilities

If you have your own garden, it is your responsibility to maintain it and keep it tidy.

What works do we cover and our service commitment?

We are responsible for maintaining communal gardens of properties, except where residents have planted their own shrubs or plants.

Some areas of land do not come under our responsibility. We understand that it can be confusing when there are two neighbouring pieces of green, one of which is our responsibility and the other the responsibility of the local Council. If you have any comments about grounds maintenance and trees please contact the Grounds Officer through our customer service centre. If you need to seek clarification about our responsibility in your area, please contact our customer service centre on the number below.

We will do our best to achieve this, however some services like grass cutting are weather dependant. For a more detailed specification please view our service commitment document.
